Need To Know….

Prop B Information:  

Prop B: Building Better Schools & Brighter Futures, a Zero-Tax Increase Bond Issue, will be on the April 2nd ballot.

Prop B aims to modernize and improve our schools, creating personalized, student-centered, and safe learning environments for all students. If approved, Prop B will repair, renovate, and restore every school, classroom, and restroom in our district, modernize many of our learning spaces, improve our safety and security efforts district-wide, and address critical infrastructure needs.

We invite you to learn more about Prop B, our Zero-Tax Increase Bond Issue, by visiting our website: www.vpschools.org/PropB or by attending an upcoming informational meeting.


Book Fair Information: 

Hello!  Our Book Fair starts next week for students and is open to families the week of conferences (March 11).  This event provides SO many books for our kids!  And this fair, each student at VP gets to select a free book (thanks to a grant).  😀

Right now, we are really low on help - particularly during conference nights.  If you are able to help out please sign up using the signup genius link.   Thank you all for your support!
